Default stacking expressions - what do YOU use to stack your movies?
#1
Hi there,

We are currently reviewing the default regular expressions used to define when to stack multipart video files into a single file.

It is proposed that we reduce the default regexps down to these 3.

Code:
<regexp>[ _\.-]+cd[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
    <regexp>[ _\.-]+dvd[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
    <regexp>[ _\.-]+part[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>

Ofcourse they'll still be overrideable via advancedsettings.xml.

These essentially match the following scheme:

<moviename><separater><cd/dvd/part><optional separator><number/letter>

eg

Die Hard - cd 1.avi
Die Hard - cd 2.avi

Note that

Die Hard 2.avi

is NOT matched by the above.

Before we go and unilaterally change this, it'd be appreciated if you could provide input as to what system (if any) you use. Example filenames are fine.

Towards the end of the week we'll make an assessment of any input received and make the change.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Took a quick look at my movies, and all my stuff appears to be like this:

In The Name of the King - Part 1 - R5 Line.avi

OR

Tin Man - Part 1.avi

Which if I understand you properly would work just fine under the proposed system.

I adopted a system of:

MovieName Pt1.avi
MovieName Pt2.avi

when I started building my collection, and have since stuck with it.

I use:

Movie Name.cd1.xxx
Movie Name.cd2.xxx

As a user only, the three listed seem just fine as a default.
